What You’ll Need to make One Pan Sausage & Peppers
- Olive Oil – We use extra virgin olive oil but any olive oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil or canola oil may be used for this recipe.
- Garlic – 3-4 cloves minced. You can substitute garlic paste, chopped garlic, or in a pinch, use 3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.

- Onion – One medium sized, peeled and cut into strips. 1-2 cups.

Over the years we have adjusted this recipe from one pack of Italian sausages to two because as the kids have grown up, they started to eat more. The number of sausages you choose to use is completely up to you. Make as many or as few as you want to suit your needs!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, kosher salt and black pepper.
Whisk together until well combined.
Spread the peppers and onions out onto the prepared sheet pan. Pour the Dijon vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss to combine.
Spread onions and peppers out evenly and lay the sausages on top.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring the veggies and turning sausages halfway through the cooking time.
Dinner is ready when the sausages are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
